So I went Domane. I even picked up the Bontrager Pro 51's recently so I could, if I wanted to, roll on 25\26mm tires, can't do that on the Pro 3v's, they are just too wide internally, so are limited to 28mm.

I love my Domane, it is a just an awesome bike for me and really easy on my back. My only issue I had is the Praxis BB, the bearing gave up the ghost pretty quick, not sure why, they are generally pretty good bearings. I ended up putting in a BBInfinite BB and it's been smooth sailing ever since.

This is mine with the Pro 51's on it.

The premature failure of the BB is concerning. The retailer was not able to leverage that failure under any warranty? If they were not able to, that concerns me in some ways.
